Teppanyaki opens near Seigen

Teppanyaki, a new Asian restaurant off of South Mall Drive near Seigen Lane (Map it!), has an ambitious menu that matches its immense size. Not content with a simple Japanese sushi buffet, the restaurant also offers a host of Chinese dim sum dishes—from sticky rice in lotus leaf to barbecued pork buns. The adventurous eater can even sample chicken feet and beef tripe—although the less adventurous will be happy to see familiar American food on the menu as well. A hibachi grill offers up tasty Japanese dishes, as well as Mongolian barbecue-style plates, wherein you can pick and choose your own ingredients. And if you want to finish it all off with dessert, there’s a full buffet—as well as a self-serve frozen yogurt station. 7677 Andrea Dr. Suite 4-10. teppanyakibr.com
